The WRITE/DISK IN USE LED

16. DISK EDIT ENVIRONMENT
The Disk edit environment is the place where you can man-
age files. This edit environment overlaps the current operat-
ing mode (Style Play, Song Play, Backing Sequence, Song,
Program).
THE WRITE/DISK IN USE LED
When a disk is reading or writing data, the WRITE/DISK IN
USE indicator lights up. While in a Disk page, the "Wait"
message appears in the display; in this situation, you can't
select a different Disk page (you can, however, select a differ-
ent operative mode).

FD SAVE
Warning! Never remove a floppy disk when the WRITE/DISK
IN USE LED is turned on!
Note: When loading or saving, you can obtain the maximum
speed by loading or saving into the same location as the source
data. When loading or saving into a different location, some
data restructuring is needed, and the operation becomes slower.

FLOPPY DISK HANDLING

The Pa50 can save most of the data contained in memory on
a 3,5" DS-DD disk (720KB capacity) or HD (1,44MB capac-
ity), MS-DOS®-formatted. Here are some precautions when
handling disks.
Write protection
You can protect a disk from the accidental overwriting of
data, by opening the write protect hole. To protect the disk
from overwriting, slide the protection flap so that the hole
becomes visible.
To write-protect the disk:
move the flap and open the
hole

OPEN CLOSE
To write-enable the disk: move
the flap to close the hole
Inserting a disk
Insert the disk delicately into the disk drive, with the label
facing upwards and the metal part to the front. Press it in as
far as it will go.
Note: The Pa50 incorporates a new type of disk drive and you
cannot hear "click" when the disk is inserted into place.

Cleaning the heads
The disk drive read/write heads get dirty with use and
become less accurate. You can clean the heads with a special
cleaning disk, you can purchase from any computer or musi-
cal instrument store. Use a 3.5" DS wet type head cleaning
disk; and carefully follow the instructions included with it.
